Defining a Practice

Senior Design Researcher | Associate Chicago

Helen Ho-Supanich, Ph.D., EDAC

"I love connecting dots and following threads. As a researcher, I advocate for a systems-based approach to design and help designers and clients think about the human experience in myriad ways. It’s the perfect merge of my academic background in Communication, Sociology, and Psychology, as well as my passion for equity and sustainability.”
